🚇 Transportation Guide
Metro Line 4 “Chengdu University Station” Exit B, 5 minutes walk directly; self-driving can be navigated to the Qinglong Lake Parking Lot (weekends are recommended to arrive early to grab a parking space).

🌸Must hit the highlights
1️⃣ Wetland Birdwatching Paradise 🦆
Qinglong Lake Wetland Park is one of the best bird-watching places in Chengdu! The island in the center of the lake and the reed area are inhabited by 200+ species of birds all year round, so bring your binoculars and stumble upon the images of egrets flying and cormorants catching fish.
2️⃣ Spring Cherry Blossom Tunnel 🌸
The cherry blossom forest stretching for 2 kilometers near Gate 2 is in full bloom.
3️⃣ Riding line around the lake 🚴
The 8-kilometer rainbow track is super healing! We recommend renting a parent-child bike (RMB 30/hour), passing through cedar forests, viewing platforms, wetland trestles, and feeling the cozy breeze through your hair.
4️⃣ Hidden Play Unlocked
▪️ Ancient style architecture: the tomb cluster of Ming Shu King’s family next to the ruins of Shu King’s Mausoleum
▪️ Parent-child must go: children’s playground (free sand pool + swing)
▪️ Sunset: No. 7 Observation Deck 18:00 Orange Lake is absolutely beautiful!
🍱 Picnic Food TIPS
✅There are fewer vending machines in the park, so it is recommended to bring your own food
